phoned my local dealer (Newmarket Garage (Bannockburn) asked if they had any VRs in they have 2 a Y plate with 40k miles on it in silver for 8k

and an 04 plate with every extra attached for 13k

took the Y plate out as that is the year Iam looking for. had it for an hour and i have to say i loved it my first test drive was only a short one with a salesperson beside me, this garage gave me the car to test drive on my own, so i had a bit more freedom as where to take it and how to drive it.

went over the roads i drive everyday, backroads/main and motorway and i found the car not to be to keen on he single lane backroads but once onto b roads and bigger the car was very eager to perform.

passing other cars where i normally cant was also a joy.

one thing I noticed is that the turbo lag is greater than i expected, but then only other turbo cars i have driven were highly tuned nissan 200sx's about 500bhp lol great fun in rear wheel drive

dont think the salesperson was to happy when i went back bcause the car was real dirty, and told himn the car was still runnin because i didnt want to turn the turbo off strait away :D

can u tell i am pleased with the car

why are you looking for a Y reg?? you can pick up 51 plates and 53 and 03 plates for not alot more then 8K these will be face lift models and IMO look better...

because my budget is more like 6-7k than 8k

been looking about and can get them for that price. by the time i buy mine i should be able to get an 02 reg for less anyway
